Machine Learning and Robotic Surgery: A Revolution in Progress
A revolution is unfolding in the world of surgery, one that is poised to redefine how we approach the operating room. It began with an ambition to perform medical procedures across distances where patients and caregivers were not physically close. DARPA and NASA funded the original research for obvious interests—bringing robotic precision to situations farContinue reading “Machine Learning and Robotic Surgery: A Revolution in Progress”
Towards autonomous robotic surgery
This evening, I attended an “academic meeting” on “AI and medicine”. The focus? How artificial intelligence might reshape medical practice and the age-old question: Can a robot replace a doctor or a surgeon? Let’s be real. That’s not the right question anymore. AI isn’t just going to change medicine—it already has. The debate over whetherContinue reading “Towards autonomous robotic surgery”
